What a treat! Cindy Smith, Mow Cow Lawn & Landscape persons; Bartlett Tree; Casey Trees, and many others devoted much of Friday, March 21 to planting trees and other plants at Central Library, located in Manassas.
This project, a service to persons who use the library, is only possible because of support from
TruGreen
Mow Cow Lawn and Landscaping
Bartlett Tree
Cassey Trees
Because of these persons and companies, we now have a Service Project in Northern Virginia. May this one be the first of many!
The project is at Manassas’ Central Library. We will capture storm water and provide desperately needed shade for patrons.
The project is in two parts
Part One: Planting Trees and Training Landscapers on Proper Installation
When: March 21
Part Two: Saturday, April 26
Purpose: Installing Rest of Project and Conducting a Special Ceremony. Legislators and county officials are invited to participate. There will also be a special ceremony honoring a special member of the General Assembly.
